## About Shalom Siegfried Sebba

Shalom Siegfried Sebba (1897–1975), also catalogued as Siegfried Shalom Sebba, was a German and Israeli artist whose practice crossed painting, printmaking, sculpture, stage design, photography, and book illustration. Authority records identify him principally as a painter and printmaker, while German- and Hebrew-language biographical sources document the broader range of his work. This breadth matters for identification: Sebba’s name can appear in different orders and spellings, and objects associated with him may not be limited to easel paintings. Collectors may encounter prints, sculptural work, photographs, illustrations, or theatre-related designs alongside paintings. The collected evidence does not establish a single formal movement, a definitive catalogue of subjects, or named series, so those labels should not be inferred. The strongest entity match rests on the shared 1897–1975 lifespan and linked Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and library identifiers rather than on stylistic assumptions alone.

## Common works and media

Authority and biographical records support paintings, prints and other graphic work, sculpture, photography, book illustration, and stage design. Because the collected sources do not identify recurring subjects, named series, specific print editions, or preferred materials, those characteristics should be documented from the work itself and verified against relevant catalogues or sale records when available.

## Market and appraisal context

Sebba’s varied practice makes the exact work type central to appraisal research. Paintings should be compared with relevant paintings, while prints require attention to technique and any documented edition context; sculpture and design material need comparables from genuinely similar categories. Appraisily’s input inventory reports 197 auction records, but this source pack does not expose the underlying lot descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, provenance histories, or edition details. No price trend or forecast is therefore warranted. A defensible valuation should begin with reliable name matching, classification of the medium and object type, and review of comparable public sales with their sale dates and realized prices. Attribution and supporting documentation must be assessed from the individual object record rather than inferred from Sebba’s broad range of occupations.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine authority-based artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Source gaps are retained rather than replaced with unsupported attribution or market claims.
